The Most Scrumptious Poke in Sacramento

Poke Cube

★★★★☆ 4.2 (267) • $$

"This is my favorite poke place whenever I'm in the Rancho area. I don't live near it and try to visit once a month when we go to the office. If I lived close by, I would be scared of my mercury levels because I'd eat at Poke Cube at least twice a week.Last year, during election season, I picked the location to drop off my ballot that was closest to Poke Cube because I was craving it.I love their online ordering feature so that I can pick it up during lunch but the times I decided to just order in person, I've always found that the staff are friendly, patient, and great. I have no complaints regarding service or food! I found the establishment to always be clean and well stocked with take out utensils. Whoever manages this place is doing a great job. :)Ok, the poke! The fish is fresh and I've never found myself disappointed with the quality. I am a fresh fish snob and I'm annoyingly picky with my raw fish consumption. Yes, I've been to Japan twice so that's why I'm cursed. But Poke Cube cures me. I trust their fish! I've been ordering from Poke Cube on a consistent basis for a couple years now. It's such a treat for the times that we're in the office and I have something yummy to look forward to eating at lunchtime. In terms of their protein, I've tried their tako (octopus), shrimp, tofu, spicy salmon, and spicy tuna. I've never had an issue with any of their toppings and have had 2 scoops of the crab salad before. If I had a friend who has never had poke before, I will gladly yap about this place!Parking is easy. Never had an issue. All in all, I highly recommend this place! My coworker talked about Poke Cube, I tried it out, and I don't think I'll ever stop visiting unless I moved to Mars."

Poke Noke

★★★★☆ 4.1 (518) • $$

"I've stopped by Poke Noke here and there for the past few years since I live around the area. I usually visit when I'm craving something specifically [usually a small bite/appetizer), or because I want [Pearls] boba which is right next door so I might as well get poke.My high rating is because I do feel like I'm given a decent portion for the 3-scoop bowl and the ingredients are fair quality and appear fresh. The protein options are normally stocked with chunky pieces of fish and there's a variety of sauces and toppings to choose from, ranging from spicy aioli to ponzus to gochujang - you'll find something you'll like. I also enjoy the small bites and have ordered different items: [spam] musubi, noke fries, potstickers, potato croquettes, etc.); I'm only disappointed when the specific item I'm craving is out of stock. They have several drink options besides just regular soda (I believe they have tea, Ramune, alcohol, etc.). It's nice that they have other menu items besides just poké, though that is the main highlight.The staff is also usually friendly, patient, and helpful when you're ordering, which contributes greatly to a good customer experience if you're not a poké expert and unsure of what to order, or even if you're still considering your options, it does not feel like you're being rushed. I feel like the staff changes often so I usually see a different face when I visit (I stop by maybe every couple of months), but as long as the service is consistent, I won't have any issues.Poke Noke is small and only has a few seats inside and outside, so it does feel more like it's meant for takeout, but I have dined inside before. It's fairly clean enough, but nothing that particularly stands out to me besides the artwork on the walls.My only con is that I feel like it's quite expensive for poké. $20 for a 3-scoop bowl is a bit hefty, and that's not including any extras like $1.75 to add a scoop of [imitation] crab. The appetizers/small bites average about $8 and if you include a drink, just for a single meal is almost as pricey as dining in at a restaurant. For a solo customer, you're spending about $20-$35 if you're craving poké. I went today with my son and spent about $50 for two 3-scoop bowls and potato croquettes. Although it's tasty and we took it home to eat, it costs as much as if we went out to eat. Their only "discount/rewards" program is through the Five Stars app but I don't really accrue enough for any discounts compared to my go-to poké place that utilizes [local by] Toast app, which I feel like has a better rewards system to incentivize me to return. Although I do enjoy the poké here, this is just an occasional treat because of the pricing."

Sac Poke Bros

★★★★★ 4.5 (66) • $$

"Out of all the fine dining establishments located in "The Bank", my personal favorite would have to be "Sac Poke Bros". That is saying a lot considering this place is competing against burgers, pizza, tacos, and sandwiches which is some pretty fierce competition. I have been here on 3 separate occasions and have always been quite impressed.The business name comes from twin brothers Brady and Micky Sisenglath who were one of the first tenants to move into this place back in late-2018. As is the case with all of the other eateries at The Bank, you order at the register while they provide a buzzer/pager when your food is ready. Here, they serve a Build-Your-Own Poke Bowl as well as their Signature Bowls. Additionally, they offer a few different sushi rolls, Spam Musubi, and Miso soup.I've eaten two types of Signature Bowls, the first visit was "The Bruddah's Bowl" which includes Ahi tuna, sweet oyster Ahi, onions, green onions, avocado, seaweed salad, Masago, and fried onions. The second visit was "The Cali Bowl" which includes salmon, shrimp, crab salad, avocado, Edamame beans, cucumbers, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, spicy mayo, and house sauce. On my most recent visit, I decided to go outside of the box and try their "Rainbow Roll" with a side of "Spam Musubi" while my boss ordered their "Dragon Roll".One word to describe the food at Sac Poke Bros and that it is fresh. On every occasion, I've received a very generous amount of food. The price is also very decent especially for it being in the heart of Downtown Sacramento and close to many attractions. Overall, this place is definitely worth checking out if you're craving a hearty Poke bowl or even a sushi roll. My rating for "Sac Poke Bros", a perfect five stars!"

Ahipoki

★★★★☆ 3.9 (88) • $$

"Food is good. Customer service could use a little help. First time I was here they only had enough teriyaki chicken for one mini bowl so my other son was without food and we had to go somewhere else for him. I gave the establishment a second try today and it looks like they had some teriyaki chicken for a bowl. I like that I can get a variety of toppings! I wanted a drink also but totally forgot about it while paying. The female cashier rang us up without asking if we wanted anything else or I wouldn't have forgotten. Anyhow I shall return to try other options."

Chaodown Poki

★★★★★ 4.6 (391) • $$

"Great poke spot!!!! I don't like raw fish and they offer tons of cooked stuff for your poke. They aren't chintzy with the sauce and their portions are legit. Service was very nice both times, too. They also have bowls like teriyaki bowls with salmon or chicken etc but those require a short wait. I loved this place and went back two short days later!"

Fishology Poke Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (404) • $$

"Food: I got salmon, ahi, and shrimp in my bowl. Everything was fresh. Ordered the regular size bowl with 3 scoops. Price, just under $19 total. No extras. A lot of topping options and sauce options. Bowl was very good... but maybe a tad overpriced. Service: Place wasn't busy at the hour I went in (approx. 1pm). So, quick service. Person who took my ordered gave recommendations on sauces. Very polite. Ambience: Clean, white walls and tables. A little basic besides the cute neon light that was good for a photo op. Napkin and utensil station was clean."

Aloha Poke & Ramen

★★★★★ 4.6 (276) • $$

"I ordered large bowl because I wanted variety of protein, but each protein they only give like couple of pieces, and they give large amount of sides like seaweed salad, ginger I know those sides are cheaper but what makes poke is poke not ginger or seaweed, they should give larger amount of protein and small amount of sides, but it still tasted good but I was so excited about taro smoothie and I ordered with regular sweet and with no milk but they gave me a premade one with super sweet coconut milk and it was undrinkable so I had to toss it, it was very disappointing..."

Poke Ichii

★★★★☆ 4.4 (209) • $$

"A return visit to my FAV poke restaurant. While the indoor seating has been reduced to only 3 tables, the service (poke maker) and quality of the protein still remains top notch IMHO. Upon my arrival the server was finishing up preparing a To-Go order. Watching him meticulously place the final topping ... I knew I was in for a perfectly made bowl. Indeed it was. 5 protein bowl w 2 scoops of ahi tuna, yellowtail, octopus & clams over a bed of soba noodles n salad. My Go-To poke restaurant. Thank you!."

Taichi Bubble Tea

★★★★☆ 3.8 (101) • $$

"Their boba and food was surprisingly good. I don't expect too much out of boba shops, especially ones that offer food/snacks but this place actually knows what they're doing. I got a wintermelon milk tea with brown sugar boba. I should've asked for it less sweet but it was my first time and I wanted to gauge if I'd like how sweet they make it. I also ordered their basil popcorn chicken and their fried geso, which is squid. Those were reaaaally good. Their chicken was actually juicy and I wasn't expecting them to deep fry the basil too; that added a nice herby taste that complemented the chicken. The squid was well-prepared too and had nice breading to it. My only real nitpick were the prices but it's to be expected nowadays and I was happy with my order.The place was kept fairly clean and I liked the layout of the place. I didn't like how I had to clean the seats and table myself since someone before us had left a bunch of crumbs all over the booth but I guess the staff didn't notice. There's a counter where you can grab sauce packets, utensils, and napkins. And a different counter has the trash and a bin to put dirty dishes and trays.There's one outlet every two tables, above the booths. I can see how it'd be annoying to use if you're trying to study here but I can't blame them for that. At least they have free wifi and a place to even charge your devices. There's about 8 tables I believe, and iirc, there were maybe 6 outlets. I don't think the tables in the middle of the shop have an outlet.Overall, I'd come here again to try other drinks and maybe take a shot at their poke and sushi."

"First time here and the place is awesome! They packed the bowl! I added avocado and they made it worth it, gave me half of it. They have great options for toppings and a good price for how much you're getting. They also have a stamp system which is a good incentive. I'd recommend this place!!"

Poke & Tea

★★★★☆ 3.8 (131) • $$

"I came to the plaza intending to go for Poke but changed my mind when I remembered how slow they were last time and how understaffed (only one worker making both poke AND drinks) they were for a weekend dinner rush and decided to get teriyaki next door instead.With that being said, the poke is not bad here."

Tea Republic

★★★★☆ 4.2 (171) • $$

"A milk tea option in RocklinThey serve boba drinks (milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies and slushies) but they also offer food options like poke bowls, spam musubi, sandwiches and other small bites. Since we just came from dinner at Jing Jing's (a few stores down) we just wanted smoothies to go. I tried something different and ordered the Caramel Macchiato Smoothie w/ boba. I'm not a coffee drinker but the mixture of sweet cream, vanilla, coffee, and caramel in this drink was delicious. Hubby got his usual Avocado Smoothie. Today, I tried the Oreo smoothie w/ boba and ordered Spam Musubi. The boba was a little too chewy this time but, otherwise, good. Wish the boba straws were longer because I can't reach the bottom of the large cup to get all the boba. I try not to leave any boba behind. LoL! The Spam musubi was good because she put a lot of sauce which made it flavorful and the slice of Spam was thick... the only thing was it fell apart easily LoL. We usually go across the street in the Safeway shopping center at another boba cafe for small bites but I'm glad that we now have another option to go to for snacks. Friendly service. Located in the Sierra Meadows Plaza in Rocklin.Review #3224"

I Fish Poke & Hawaiian BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.3 (39)

"I can't wait to come back! I went here because a friend was craving poke. I have a weird thing with texture so if I'm eating poke, it needs to be with nachos (something crispy). I was going to originally order a teriyaki or short rib plate but then I saw they had wontons that they could use for the poke bowls. I was SO HAPPY! I got the wontons with two scoops of poke (which was plenty tbh, I ended up giving some to my friend when it became too much) and I added all the toppings I wanted. It was DELICIOUS! I want to get it again and I want to try their meat plates as well. The service was nice, everyone was friendly and the place was clean. The seating was relaxed. We also got some macaroon ice cream sammiches at the end to end our post workout meal on a sweet note!"

Poke Fix

★★★★☆ 4.4 (612) • $$

"Poke Fix always satisfies my poke bowl cravings!! A friend had actually recommended this spot to me.Service is friendly! They surprisingly don't skimp out and fill my poke bowls very nicely! So no complaints here:) I usually do a regular size create your own poke bowl with half sushi rice and half salad. They have a good variety of proteins, sauce, veggies & toppings. I have yet to try other items on the menu, there's so many to choose from!"

Fish Face Poke Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (708) • $$

"The garlic shrimp on Wednesdays and Sundays are a highlight of my week! Love this place! The Salmon poke is a hitter every time!"

Hokee Poke

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"The food is good, but what's with the service fee? I ordered in person and paid with cash. It's gotten too pricey for me, 24.87 for a regular poke bowl, no extra, I think I'll had to find a new place :("

AhiPoki

★★★★☆ 3.5 (222) • $$

"We were out and about and looking for something light to share or snack on to keep us moving mid day.AhiPoki was perfect destination on our adventuresome day.We stopped in and found plenty of items to choose from. Started with the spam musubi's (2ea per order) they were delightful and delicious as well as the crab salad hand wrap with avocado.We also got the Sriracha shrimp bowl. Just the perfect amount of Sriracha on them and then to choose all your other options for sides in made it amazing.Service was excellent and place was clean and tidy.Parking is abundant of spots outside in the lot.Definitely worth a try if looking for something quick, easy, delicious and shareable."

Hawaiian Poke

★★★★☆ 4.1 (212) • $$

"Easy to find in the parking lot, fish looks fresh, very clean inside.We were hungry after a trip to Ikea and poke sounded delicious.The prices were great, the service was also fantastic.They were very kind and patient (I'm indecisive.) lol"

Oishi Express

★★★★★ 4.5 (41) • $$

"Good and drinks were delicious, service was great. Don't use the claw machines, they drop everything."

Poke Ichii

★★★★☆ 4.2 (83) • $$

"Ok this place converted me to a poke bowl fan. I never had one before and came here for lunch. The service was fast, nice, for young people working at a "fast food" restaurant. It's refreshing, really. The regular poke bowl is the most bang for your buck in doco that I've ever had. They really have great options and don't skimp on the portions. It's a true cup of salad, they let you have 3 sauces, green onion, onion, and cilantro is not a part of the topping you get with your bowl, and the meat selection is fresh. I tried a place in natomas that was not it! Their habanero sauce is perfect for spice lovers like me. I love this place . Great to stroll around and try other eateries upstairs like boba or cheesecake! I usually eat raw sushi but this was a perfect meal to satisfy my sushi like cravings, aka , poke. lol"

Island Fin Poke - Sacramento

★★★★☆ 4.2 (66) • $$

"Island Fin Poke has a food truck. Yup, serving up their food goodness in a mobil format. A few weeks ago, I caught a weekday lunch. The two gals working the truck were fantastic. When I asked questions about ingredients, for the items they were unsure, they offered to quickly call the shop to ask. Despite my questions, they worked quickly providing customer service that didn't feel rushed. The salmon poke bowl tasted great. Fresh tasting ingredients. Quality tasting salmon. Yum. Beautiful presentation. But hey in this economy, the poke protein serving size is on the smallish side. However that's the situation with every other similar business. At least Island Fin is consistent with their serving sizes. I also bought a Hawaiian Sun n fruit drink. Luv that stuff, it's not a common product at mainstream grocery stores. So it's a treat to find. Hawaiian Sun comes ins a variety of flavors, made without HFCS. Plus the truck sells soft serve Dole Whip. $6. That good stuff is made without lactose and HFCS. The menu also includes spam masubi $4 each or 2 for $7."

Poke House

★★★★☆ 4 (42) • $$

"Best poke spot ever! Genuinely one of the best local soots. Before I would settle for fish & things, poke noke is expensive, and fish face is a loveeee but just so far. I hardly ever get poke because of this but with this new spot I'll definitely be getting more!The place was very nice, clean, and modern. It's a nice place to sit inside and dine in rather than just to take it to go like other spots.The staff were so sweet and immediately prepared and put on gloves the moment we walked through the door (I felt bad though because we were picking up an online order but I appreciate that they were so quick to cut the conversation and put the customer first).The food was the best part. I'm not sure why someone was saying it was too expensive for the portion but we paid $20.20 for a bowl (excluding the add ins like seaweed salad, avocados, etc) and the bowls were HUGEEEE! I barely made a dent in mine and saved it for the next day. The sauces were so flavorful and the siracha aioli did not play; it was so spicy but in a good way! I also appreciate the thought they put behind when packing an order. We ordered a mix of sushi rice and spring mix and they placed the spring mix on top of the rice which help coated the veggies in the sauce but also prevented the rice from getting too soggy/drenched in sauce. It's a nice and thoughtful touch that other places do not do and we noticed and appreciated that. I can't say anything bad about this place. 5/5 will be raving about this place to everyone! :)"

Yummy Poke

★★★★☆ 3.8 (409) • $$

"This little local spot is the best place in the Rocklin/Roseville area to get poke in my opinion. They are nicely priced, the fish always appears to be fresh and the facility itself is clean. When I walk into any place that's selling raw fish and it doesn't smell like fish, that's a win for me, that tells me two things. 1. The fish is fresh and hasn't been sitting out. 2. They are on top of their cleaning system. If you're going in to dine-in I wouldn't expect anything spectacular. As a matter of fact they have limited seating because it appears that most people take it to go. Nevertheless the quality is still there. One of the only things that I will say negatively about this location has nothing to do with the location itself actually. They have so much great business that you have to make sure you get there early, or your fish of choice (salmon and shrimp in my case) may likely be out. This has happened to me a couple of times, but I can't really be mad if everybody loves what I love."

Fire Wings - Howe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (493) • $$

"Came here late last night and had a great experience! Staff was friendly and informative. I had gone to another location and they didn't sell the beyond meat, so I called this location and they were very helpful over the phone. They have two stories for seating and a nice bar area for beer and other cocktails, with multiple tv's. Plenty of parking in the lot and it was packed inside as there was a sports game on.I ordered the seasoned fries and the beyond wings (fire wing flavor). The wings were sure spicy alright! But very delicious and tasty, not too spicy where you couldn't taste the flavor. The fries were crispy and tasted delicious as well. Both paired with ranch dipping sauce were perfect. They have a large flavor lineup, including dry rub, classic and fusion. Multiple dipping sauces available as well. Looking forward to coming back!"
